The Doggy boys were favourites, having just edged Stockton in the two league games, but there was a cup final place at stake and they were were rocked in a first half dominated by Stockton.

Town who produced football belying their lowly league position and within four minutes they were in front after hesitancy by the table toppers' defence.

North Ormesby did show some patchy form and Shildrick finished well to net the equaliser.

This though was not enough and Stockton struck again with a fine run and finish. Then, with Doggy trying to get a foothold in the game, Stockton struck again to lead 3-1 at half-time.

Stockton netted again at the start of the second half.

North Ormesby dug deep and showed the determination for which they are renowned when Dunn touched in a Dicicco shot. Soon after, following pressure from a corner kick, Sykes forced the ball home.

Stockton were now looking tired and shaken and Doggy pulled level when Dicicco went on a tremendous run before squaring the ball for Wilson to tap in.

North Ormesby then missed two great chances and the game went into extra-time with the Doggy boys now on top.

They went ahead for the first time when, having won a free kick, Lambert fired the ball into the goalmouth where Sykes smashed the ball home.

Within minutes Doggy got a sixth when a great pass out wide to Lambert saw him skip past Stockton's defence to put in a perfect cross for Wilson to head home a great goal.

This knocked the heart out of Stockton and the second period of extra-time saw North Ormesby control the game without any further score.

UNDER-14 DIVISION TWO

ST AIDAN'S 6, YARM 1

YARM started brightly but fell behind when they were caught on the break.

Nathan Hopkin on the right wing produced some delightful play, but his team-mates couldn't make the ground up to support him. Yarm then went to sleep and fell two behind when a cross from the left wing sailed over keeper David Hamilton. St Aidan's stretched their lead to five before a great run down the right by Hopkins, whose pass found Michael Sellers, and his cross was lashed home first time by David Bell from just inside the box. St Aidan's sixth came when sloppy play allowed the striker to run through unchallenged.

UNDER-15 DIVISION ONE

MARTON A 2, BEECHWOOD 1

THIS battle, not for the faint-hearted, attracted a crowd of over 200 and it lived up to its billing as the Clash of the Titans.

Beechwood forced a corner which fell to Knighty, who thundered an unstoppable shot past Craggs, giving the keeper no chance. Marton forced three corners and both sides continued to make chances.

In the second half, after good play by Rigg and McQuade, Hall tip-toed past Beechwood's defence for a brilliant equaliser.

Both sides enjoyed possession of the ball, but it was Marton who found an opening. Furness scored a very good match-winner.

UNDER-13, DIVISION ONE

MARTON 2, YARM TOWN JUNIORS 3

MARTON'S unbeaten home record was broken as the visitors shaded the first half and went into the interval a goal up when Hobbs headed home at the near post from an in-swinging corner.

Marton resumed playing some flowing football, particularly down the left side with Sanson and their man of the match Ross Davison combining well. One such move produced the equaliser when fellow forward Wilson fed Halpin who slotted home. Halpin got his second from a corner when he out-jumped O'Hanlon, who later made a crucial save from Halpin which proved to be the turning point as Yarm then went up field themselves winning a free kick just outside the box. From the set piece Jamie Davison capped a man of the match performance by curling the ball over the Marton wall and beyond Sedgwick to put the game all-square. A draw looked likely and probably would have been a fair result. However, both sides kept attacking looking for the winner and cruelly it came Yarm's way in the last minute, when Helm stroked the ball home from the edge of the 18-yard box.

UNDER 13 DIVISION 2

STOCKTON WEST END 11, ST AIDAN'S 3

WITH an early goal through Scott, the hosts struck a purple-patch of scintillating one touch ground-play, which cut the bemused St Aidan's defence to shreds and led to further goals by Rea, Harris and Robinson with Sullivan countering in a breakaway strike.

This triggered an avalanche of West End goals with Scott scoring from some distance, then nodding home from close-range to complete his hat-trick before an own-goal added to St Aidan's woe.

The visitors' misery continued after the interval with goals by Harris and Moody, after which West End made several substitutions, tending to reduce their flow of goals. A mini-revival seemed likely when Lobb converted a penalty - followed quickly by a second goal for Sullivan. Further goals from hot-shot Harris - to complete his hat-trick - and a second for Moody, however, were to set the seal on a very comfortable win.

U-11 CHALLENGE CUP SECOND ROUND

STOCKTON 0, YARM 5

YARM produced a terrific performance against a spirited Stockton team and deservedly went ahead early on when man of the match Charlie Corden dribbled through the centre of the Stockton defence to fire home.

Yarm produced some great flowing passing movements down both wings, and one such move nearly set them up for the second when a Tom Booth cross saw Tom Hinchley's shot neatly saved by the Stockton keeper.

Before the break Yarm doubled their lead when Joe Minto burst down the right wing and his cross was perfectly met at the near post by a flying Charlie Corden to head home.

Stockton started the brighter in the second half, but keeper Stephen Sellers saved well at the near post.

Yarm, now playing some of their best football of the season, then went three up when e Corden latched onto a great through ball by Hinchley to grab his hat-trick.

Stockton never gave up but couldn't break through the Yarm rearguard, solidly defended by Khalid Alali and Jengiz Bagdatlioglu, before Greg Oxley ran through to fire home Yarm's fourth before Hinchley brilliantly curled in his fourth.

REDCAR 15, BELASIS 1

REDCAR started well by scoring after two minutes with a goal from Alcock. Further goals from Lumb, Tullock, Alcock and Butler eased Redcar into a comfortable position at half-time.

The second half saw Lumb and Tullock complete their hat-tricks with further goals coming from Corps, Tullock, French, Lumb (2) and Risebrough to seal the game.

Belasis chased the game and never gave up and were rewarded with an excellent consolation goal from Bambrough.

UNDER-11 LEAGUE CUP

COULBY NEWHAM 8, BRINKBURN 3

COULBY started slowly on the muddy pitch in this last eight clash but soon got into a rhythm and went 3-0 up with goals from Josh Wall, Matthew Robinson and Liam Sullivan.

Coulby then took their foot off the pedal and Brinkburn pulled two back.

Leon Hudson kept Coulby comfortable at half time with a fourth goal. Some good saves from the Brinkburn keeper kept Coulby score down until Danny Hawkins popped up with a fifth. Brinkburn netted their third but a good build-good up from defence led to Matthew Robinson grabbing the sixth. Shaun Fox was brought down in the box the referee pointed to the spot and Robinson converted for his hat-trick. Sub Tom Wodsworth netted the eighth.

U-10 DURHAM CUP

BILLINGHAM 0, GREATHAM A 2

BILLINGHAM started in determined mood as they entertained Second Division pacesetters Greatham for a place in the semi-finals, going close when James Robertson and Harry White headed over from well taken corners from Matthew Chan.

With Anthony Laverick dictating play from central midfield, Billingham went close again when a strong run by Daniel Liddle on the right forced the goalkeeper into action.

At the other end, Greatham's prolific strikers were kept at bay by a Billingham defence marshalled superbly by Alex Craig.

Greatham gradually came more into the game and two minutes into the second half they took the lead then added a second five minutes later when a long throw-in caught the home defence ball watching as it found an unmarked forward who slotted it home.
